I am submitting this to complaints for anyone who wants to buy or is interested in either a Hovnanian Enterprises or K. Hovnanian home anywhere in the United States. Please, don't buy one.
I live in California and we have several communities that have been built by this company. The homes are reasonably priced (between $130,000 and $350,000) and are very attractive to the prospective buyer. During this real estate boom, these homes, at this price, in California, is a great draw.
Anyway, we purchased our first house in Lake Elsinore, CA, 5 years ago. It is a beautiful house, 2,000 sq. Ft. With a total lot size of over 5,000 sq. Ft. Our community is also very nice.
The problem is the fact that the builder, contractors, and anyone that works for this company drops all recognition of you after the sale is final. Here are a few things they won't recognize: Warping wood, cracking stucco, peeling exterior paint, no interior paint, warping cabinet doors, plumbing nightmares, electrical wiring that shorts out almost constantly, water leaks under floors, the list goes on and on. Me and my husband have fixed quite a few of these problems (painting, wiring, leaks) but I don't want others to have to do this.
It is very expensive and it takes all the joy out of owning your first home. We currently have a class action lawsuit being filed against this company. On their own website they list themselves as America's Top Quality Home Builder. As a buyer of one of their houses, it isn't true at all. Please don't consider one of their communities.
